Abstract: Supercapacitor electrodes comprising active charge supporting particles, graphenic carbon particles, and a binder are disclosed. The active charge supporting particles may comprise activated carbon. The graphenic carbon particles may be thermally produced. The electrodes may further comprise electrically conductive carbon.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of separating a fluid emulsion stream into a hydrocarbon stream and an aqueous stream, by contacting the stream with a microporous membrane to yield a hydrocarbon product stream and an aqueous product stream. The membrane comprises a substantially hydrophobic, polymeric matrix, and substantially hydrophilic, finely divided, particulate, substantially water-insoluble filler distributed throughout the matrix. The polymeric matrix has a mean pore size less than 1.0 micron, and the purities of the product streams are independent of the flux rate of the aqueous product stream and the pore size of the membrane.

Abstract: This invention provides an improved electrodepositable photoimageable resist composition which includes a photosensitive composition and a microgel. The photosensitive composition can be either a negative-acting or a positive-acting photoresist. Moreover, with regard to each of these, the photoresist component can be either cationic or anionic. The microgel includes a plurality of crosslinked organic particles which can form a stable aqueous dispersion. Moreover, the microgel is present in an amount ranging from between about 0.1 to about 30 weight percent. These weight percentages are based upon the total weight of the resin solids in the photoimageable resist composition. At these concentrations, the microgels promote edge coverage, but do not significantly reduce the photosensitivity and developability properties of the photosensitive composition with which they are combined.
